The titans got down to work. As Cyborg moved all the furniture to a side, so that the sleeping bags could be in the centre of the room, Terra and Beast boy made dinner. Raven decided to call Titans east for cover up, and Robin, he was researching Slade's attack to provide the team with some information. Maybe Bumble bee could be able to track him down. Starfire decided to take a shower, to clear her thoughts.

Starfire brushed her damp hair and sighed. It had been a long stressful day.

She grabbed her sleeping bag and took silky by the other arm, and left her room. She didn't dare to turn and look at the now clean hospital wing. She could see herself being dragged around if she did. She fastened her pace to go through it quickly and then she bumped with someone.

Robin.

"Whoa. Easy, is someone following you?" He said playfully.

"It's um, nothing really. I'm just hungry." She said.

Robin gave her a 'I-don't-think-so' look and Starfire sighed.

"Okay, maybe I am a little bit traumatized, but you can't blame me." She said giving up.

"I'm not, I just want to make sure you are okay."

"I am."

"Great."

They both let out a soft laugh and walked to the common room, hand in hand. When the metallic doors opened they saw Beast boy being thrown into a re arranged furniture with a 'squee' , followed by Terra's "Touchdown!" victory scream.

Starfire and Robin looked at Raven.

"What? He was being annoying." She said as her black aura extinguished from her wrists.

Robin and Starfire were used to all of this, so they decided to keep moving, trying not to get into Raven's way.

"Dude! That was not cool." Beast boy said while he rubbed the back of his head. He stood up from the floor and pointed at Raven. "You'll pay."

"Ooh I'm so scared." She said making her way to the couch and turning on the T.V. A newscaster was talking and an image of Starfire on the upper right corner appeared.

"Oh crud. What now?" Starfire said as she flew closer to the screen.

"After the charity event for Marshal's kids, the titans were seen getting into a restaurant nearby, but a tragic accident happened to the alien beauty, part of the super hero group. Testimonies say that she coughed up blood out of the blue. The restaurant is considered to get a serious demand for poisoning a public hero."

The screen faded to the restaurant where the titans had lunch that evening and a boy in a blue shirt with a giant burger on it appeared talking.

"She coughed up out of nowhere, I'm not sure what it was, maybe a piece of broken glass or something, but she looked like she was going to die or something. It was pretty intense."

The newscaster came back.

"We still don't know the real cause of this, was it poisoning or if it is just a freak accident. Anyway, the restaurant's owner will be going to judgment, Monday morning."

"What a load." Raven said staring at the screen.

"You think?" Starfire said.

"You know what they say, haters make you famous." Beast boy said as he took a bite of his tofu burger.

"Guys! Dinner's served." Terra took off her apron and served each plate. Everyone sat down and ate quietly, Raven the most quiet of them all. As she moved her steak from one side to another, the movement made it split, and when she was about to get it inside her mouth she saw movement on her cup. More horrified than curious she took her cup and put the fork down. She examined the clear liquid and then saw it. There was a tint of red on it. By each bubble that reached the top of the cup, more of the color exploded into it. Then she saw a silhouette draw itself in it. It looked like a sick maniac grin. She shuddered and threw the glass to the door with a scream.

All the titans reacted and looked at their dark friend, who was now shaking uncontrollably.

"Raven, what was that?" Beast boy, by her side asked as he placed a hand on her shoulder. She just stared onto the floor. As the red liquid got soaked into the carpet. Star fire noticed that and stood up looking at the spilled liquid on the floor.

"When did seven up became red?" She asked pointing at it.

Terra stood up and looked at it as well, Cyborg and Robin shortly after.

"Whoa." Terra said. "What in the.."

"I'm going to sleep." Raven said as she flew to the centre of the room and got into her sleeping bag. Zipping it with her black aura, she covered her face as well and turned to the giant screen, trying to regain her mind.

The titans were confused. A lot. But they couldn't decipher anything at the time, so they decided to go to bed as well.

"Who will clean this up?" Cyborg said.

Terra, Robin, and Starfire took a step backwards and left Beast boy standing alone.

"Hmph?" He said as he brought his head up from the floor. He turned around to discover that the titans were far in the back, and he was standing in front of Cyborg, who was holding a wet clothe and a broom.

"Aww man!" He said. Beast boy took the cleaning utensils and got down to work, while everyone else got ready for bed.

"Who will do the first shift?" Robin asked.

Silence.

"Calm down not everyone at the time." He said sarcastically. "Fine, I'll do it, but then Cyborg's going after me." He said pointing at him.

"Okie dokie." Terra said.

"That's okay with me." Starfire answered.

"Whatevs." Beast boy piped up still cleaning up.

After the discussion each titan got into their sleeping bags and fell asleep quickly. Robin wrapped himself in a snuggie with an 'R' printed on it and lay on the couch, with his eyes open wide. It had been a long day, but it was also going to be a long night. A very, long night.

Sha la!

Sorry for taking so much time, I had TONS of homework.

Well here it is. Next chapter is going to be incredibly awesome, pinky promise ;)

Reviewers;

Crazynerd: You'll find out who did the curse sometime after the next chapter, I love to leave people hanging jaja. Yeah Like I said, it was hard to make Starfire suffer so much, cause she is like my favorite character, but that's actually the reason I did it, she could take 20 beatings like that and still be alive lol.

See you in the next chapter beautiful readers :D
